implementation a replaceable component via the
"SimulatorImplementationType" global value.
Hint: try ./waf --run "udp-echo --PrintGlobals"
+- implement Packet::PeekHeader and Packet::PeekTrailer to avoid evil workarounds when receiving tcp packets.
+
+Bugs fixed
+----------
+- add optional support for TCP and UDP checksum (bug 236)
+- close socket upon PacketSink::StopApplication (bug 243)
+- fix build failure with gcc 4.3.x (bug 245)
+
+API changes from 3.1 to 3.2
+---------------------------
+- several helper APIs related to attribute setting (changeset d5f8e5fae1c6,
+ bug 234); old variants are currently deprecated API and will be removed
+ in a future release
+- remove references to Parameter in helper APIs (changeset 3cdd9d60f7c7,
+ bug 232); old variants are currently deprecated API and will be removed
+ in a future release
+- New NetDevice APIs: SendFrom and SetPromiscRxCallback;
+
+In order to support the learning bridge, some API changes in Node and
+NetDevice were made.
+
+In NetDevice, devices may optionally implement the virtual methods
+SendFrom, SupportsPromiscuous, and SetPromiscReceiveCallback. If
+these new methods are not implemented, the code still compiles and
+works, except if they are used in a BridgeNetDevice.
+
+In Node, the signature for protocol handler callbacks (used in
+AddProtocolHandler) has changed. Now it looks like:
+
+ void ReceiveFromDevice (Ptr<NetDevice> device, Ptr<Packet> packet,
+ uint16_t protocol, Address const &source, Address const &destination,
+ PacketType packetType);
+
+The extra parameters 'destination' and 'packetType' are present for
+all protocol handlers, but only have valid values for promiscuous
+protocol handlers. Protocol handlers are non-promiscuous by default,
+so no action is needed to adapt existing code besides updating the
+callback signature.
